"AI Writing Detectors" are absolutely full of false positives, as anyone working in education or related fields can attest.

The target market for this camera does not care about specs. They're not the point. Anyone who goes away from the page because it doesn't list a certain number was never going to b…

Solar is profitable to install at both industrial and home scale in most areas. You're moving the goalposts.

$20k with $250 in subscriptions each month to keep your seats, mirrors, and radio working...

Who's going to buy the results of that extra output while most people are laid off? Where is the growth going to actually come from? Even before LLMs, the cost of living and findin…

Specs aren't important to what this is. Megapixels and burst speed matter less than actually having a camera that's with you. There's a big community intentionally stepping back fr…

Salt isn't conducive to bacteria.

Salt isn't conducive to things growing - or composting. High salt levels kill bacteria and hurt plants. Fish sauce is very high in salt.

> It looks absolutely insane to me, but some people seem to defend it. Before that policy, you had a bunch of items listed for $1 + $60 "shipping" to dodge fees. I'll take the curr…

Kegerators are easy and quite affordable to build. I absolutely have friends who stopped home brewing because they realized that having a tap of readily available beer in their hou…

I ran a Synology DS418play for 8-9 years. It got OS and security updates throughout that time. I recently replaced it with a TrueNAS setup because I needed a dramatic capacity incr…

The bigger problem is convincing them to care. Botnets are abstract - where's the pain to them? Ad farms? That's "just hurting big corporations". Remember, a significant portion of…

"read the author's mind" is a puzzle type closely related to, and in practice often overlapping with brute force. If the author has a solution in mind but it is not properly hinted…

I disagree. I write and play in long-form puzzle competitions, so for many people I know attention span isn't the issue. What is the issue is that writing fun puzzles is a skill. A…

There are many image editors. The primary appeal of something like Lightroom is image editing workflow - library management and editing combined. Being able to organize and move ar…

That's not library management, and it's not a replacement for Lightroom/C1. "If you give up on these features, it's a replacement" doesn't make it a replacement.

That's less than €1/hour for how much time I've spent using Capture One. Good, ergonomic, efficient tools are worth their weight in gold. C1 is one of them. Importing/triage, editi…

Anyone who says "reduce bureaucracy by 90%" is on a culture war fever trip and doesn't actually care about efficient spending either.

Most people prefer to work with humans, not robots. Common experiences and getting to know people are a huge part of that. Sharing stories and getting to know people humanizes them…

> But these tools are also becoming part of how software is made. The Open Source world needs to figure out how to engage with that future, not just divide into camps. No. They don…

This thread was a "why does remote access matter", not a comparison of Jellyfin and Plex. I run both and Jellyfin is very clearly an open source project. By that I mean that the in…

If exercise was pleasant you wouldn't have to remind people to do more of it. The only thing worse than running for an hour is running for an hour and actually paying attention to …

It means access from anywhere. Want to watch an episode of that series while you're sitting at work waiting for a long test pass? Plex. You're hanging out with friends and they wan…

We have nothing of the sort. Reviews are bought and manipulated at scale. Dupe brands come and go month to month. Very few of the electronics I've bought on Amazon in the last 8 ye…

> Though closed now, the Star Wars hotel experience was probably the best one on the planet. No. Nope. About the furthest thing from it. Not even the best Disney has done. This vid…
